What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class really appreciate its luxurious comfort, smooth ride, and impressive performance. Many highlight the powerful engine and advanced safety features as standout elements. However, some drivers find the handling a bit uninspiring and express concerns about the quality of certain interior materials."
Design Looks like a Mercedes from a mile. Doesn't look like anything else on the streets. Performance The 3.5L v6 engine makes this cars move pretty fast. It would move better with a 5.0 V8. I also believe that the breaks installed are not strong enough. It could be better and safer if Mercedes had installed -at least- the 4 pot Brembo-made callipers. Handling is AMAZING, if you make a minor mistake, the car will correct it. If the mistake is more serious, the PRE-SAFE system will make sure your body is in the best position for the up-coming crash. It will change the settings of your sit, the distance between your sit and the steering wheel, prepare the safety belts and after the crash it will unlock doors and turn on the alarm light. Please don't try to go fast on a narrow mountain road... You'll most likely get killed. Build quality. Looks and feels stiff and German made. Once you are over the shock caused of quality and luxuries inside this car, then you see that they used the same quality plastic parts, Mercedes uses in cheaper models. And you just know that after couple of years you will hear them on each and every bump. Extras The list of extras is of the same size with a phone book. You can order anything! Night-view assistance, orthopaedic front seats, rear-seat entertainment system, massage seats, climate-controlled seats.... ETC If you can afford them... get them all!!! This car is made for long trips. It will take you anywhere and make sure you get there safe, in luxury and effortless.
February 1, 2008Garish and over-the-top in so many ways, but probably with the features we’ll find normal in 10 years’ time. Massaging seats the main party trick, but infra-red camera for front helps turn night into day on interior LCD TV, which changes back into a very clear speedometer in other circumstances. Double glazing, telescopic doors that open to any angle. Big car, and it feels it. Certainly not perfect as it’s not satisfying as a driver’s car, but there are too many toys up front that you wouldn’t want a chauffeur to enjoy them all.
May 25, 2008Excellent tourqe and power. Airmatic suspension is the most comfortable suspension ever. Absorbs almost all bumps. Passing is a breaze. This car is an all around excellent peformer and a great buy.

December 4, 2006I have recently got this car for myself as a christmas gift. I wanted to get a BMW or a Mercedes Benz E350 but the cost was about the same in all of them. The S430 offered me the 4matic and also it was much more room inside the car compared to the other two sedans. In my best words, this car is a very good car, the best i ever had.

September 29, 2009Comfortable and quiet. This car is the flagship of Mercedes. Styling meets elegance with a flair of performance really set this car a part. One if the best points that does not get mentioned much is the safety. It gets the highest ranked safety standards out there. If your looking for comfort say no more. It is a Mercedes s-class.
